No way! Sorry to hear that.

Like Ryans E39 said search around to see if you can get a better rate. It might take some time but it could be worth it in the end.

I was paying about 600/yr, they are trying to charge me 2k year now... That is insane!!! I have something on my record that is causing this and it will be there for the next 2 years or so which sucks...

Since the bike is financed i have to have the insurance under my name... If it were paid for I would've been able to put it under who evers name i wanted to...

Something you could consider: not listening and putting it on liability... I know my bank that gave me the loan for mine doesn't check to see that I have insurance, risky, but an option nonetheless.

I would defiantely shop around before doing something you'll surely regret.

I've actually thought about this... Problem is that my bank is the one contacting me to tell me that I have to show proof of insurance. When I opened the policy I was on the policy but then they dropped me a couple of weeks later. I guess they asked the insurance co. and they said I wasnt on the policy any more.

Wow that sucks. I would definately shop around for better rates, my record is *terrible*, I lost my license in under a year, and have gotten 4 tickets/violations (many more verbal warnings), and I'm still at under $80 a month...
What size bike do you have?

Do you have an address you could use in Jersey? I am sure Ins would be cheaper if it was registered in Jersey.

No, i actually dont. That would probably change things too since the violations are here in NY and not in NJ. Their DMV records are not connected.
